Yes, narrow tires can take more pressure than wide tires before failure.

The failure mode is blow off of the tire from the rim, whether hooked or hookless. Pressure rating for a tire accounts for...

I hated those old hookless rims. I worked in my parents' shop in the 60s and 70s, and it was so easy to blow off a tire with the air compressor. My ears would ring for the rest of the day.

I don't...

It’s not the carbon that fails at high temperature. It’s the resin.

This was a fairly common problem in the early days of carbon rims. Manufacturers have since then switched to resins with a...

The braking heat-induced failure mode with tubulars is rolling the tire off the rim. This can occur after the high temperature softens the glue holding the tire to the rim.

Then again, pros...

It might be clear, if if were not for all the real world evidence to the contrary.

Then again, if you are braking so much that a blow off is likely, you are probably going rather slowly, and any crash will be a slow one.

As will any tire. The design upper limit for tires is typically 90C. At 120C, tire rubber is soft enough to deform plastically.

Yes, certainly the earlier carbon rims that didn't use high temperature resin could deform permanently under heavy braking.

Semantics. Two phrases that describe the same phenomenon, with the second one being more accurate.

If you hear a "boom", the tire came off the rim.

I’ve inspected the beads on tubed and tubeless versions of the same model tire. I saw nothing...

No, switching to tubeless will not prevent a heat-related blow off.

Heat does not cause tubes to fail. Heat causes tire blow offs.
